How to categorise your cat photograph

First, according to the coat/hair/fur pattern/colour. Put your file in one of these subcategories. ONLY if you can't find an appropriate category, put it in the category Category:Unidentified cat colours.

Use these categories for predominantly one-coloured cats ("solid" or "self"):

Black cats
Blue cats (grey)
Red cats (orange, marmalade)
White cats

These categories describe multi-colour patterns:

Tabby cats - distinctive striped or spotted pattern
Bicolour cats - blotches of coloured and white
Tricolour cats (tortoiseshell-and-white or calico) - blotches of two different colours and white
Tortoiseshell cats (tortie) - solid cats with both black and red series colours (black/red, blue/cream)
Colourpoint cats - AKA "pointed", only tips are a different colour
Silver and golden cats (rare pigment widebanding genes)

And their combinations:

Tortoiseshell tabby cats (torbie) - tortoiseshells with tabby pattern on both colours (black/red, blue/cream)
Tortoiseshell tabby and white cats (tabby tricolour or torbico) - tabby blotches of two different colours and white
Tabby colourpoint cats - colourpoints with tabby or lynx pattern
Tortoiseshell colourpoint cats - colourpoints with tortoiseshell pattern

See also Tabby cat colour overview and Rare cat colour overview for examples of the different colourations in (tabby) cats.
Second, according to breed. If your cat has a documented pedigree, put it in the appropriate subcategory of Category:Cat breeds. If it is without pedigree and of unknown ancestry, it can be placed in the other categories under Category:Domestic cats. For mixed breed cats use Category:Mixed-breed cats.
Third, according to hair length. If your cat has long hair, put it in Category:Long-haired cats. Medium length and short-haired cats are the most common, so they don't have separate categories. It is optional to place the non-identifiable breed short-haired cats in Category:Domestic short-haired cats. If your cat has genetic hair mutations (hairless, curled or wire hair), it belongs in Category:Cats with hair mutations .
Fourth, by age. Is your photograph of a kitten? Then put it in Category:Kittens. Photographs of cats giving birth can be put in Category:Cat birth.
Fifth, what does the photograph show of your cat? Is it a photograph of the cat's face? Then put it in Category:Cat portraits. Does it show some distinct body part of the cat? Then put it in Category:Cat anatomy. Does it show the cat doing something interesting or unusual, something other than just sitting there? Then put it in Category:Cat behaviour.
Sixth, what does the photograph show besides the cat? Is it a photograph of a cat in snow or autumn leaves? Does it show the cat on a fence, in a tree, or on a wall? Then put it in the appropriate subcategory of Category:Cats by setting.
Seventh, what country (or sub-region) is the cat from? Add the applicable subcategory of Category:Cats by country.
